Airline crew and passengers come together for a heartfelt graduation ceremony at 30,000 feet
The special event was thrown in honour of five-year-old Xavier Joel, who, due to travel commitments, missed his graduation ceremony back home. In an uplifting display of community spirit, passengers and crew aboard a Frontier Airlines flight made the skies a child-friendly zone with an impromptu graduation ceremony at 30,000 feet. The memorable occasion took place on a flight from Orlando to San Juan, with the joyous celebration captured in a video shared by Xavier's mother, Janeiry Rivas, on Instagram. In the heartwarming footage, Xavier is seen donning a bright red cap and gown as he proudly walks down the aisle of the aircraft to the strains of 'Pomp and Circumstance' while fellow passengers applaud, cheer and offer him high fives. According to Rivas, her son was 'thrilled and beyond excited' about the surprise ceremony. After all, it's not every day a five-year-old gets to graduate mid-flight. "All that know me know the importance of my sons activities but due to a family event he missed his graduation. This was very difficult for me and I decided since we were going to be with family to bring his cap and gown. The day we traveled before boarding the plane I put it on him only expecting a photo with the pilots but the staff at frontier airlines went above and was unforgettable and I am immensely grateful to all those aboard the plane and the you @flyfrontier," she said. In a time when stories of conflict can often dominate headlines, this event served as a heartwarming reminder of kindness and community in unexpected places.

US Woman "99% sure" Her Backpack Was Soaked In Pee On Frontier Flight, Internet Reacts
A US woman shared a bizarre experience faced by her sister recently on board a Frontier Airlines flight. In a viral Reddit post, the woman said that her sister found her backpack, kept underneath the seat, soaked in "urine". The staff "brushed her off" as she reported the incident that happened when she was flying from Seattle to Dallas on June 9. The woman said that she had kept her backpack under the seat in front of her, only to find that it was soaked when she picked it up before deboarding. She tried to dry it off in the aeroplane bathroom, but the paper towels came out yellow. She said her sister was "99% sure" that the person sitting in the seat in front of her peed during the flight and it leaked onto her backpack. The staff members "basically brushed her off and told her to go to the ticket counter", with a manager eventually telling her that they had to call their senior because "nothing like this has happened before". They didn't know what to do in such circumstances. The staff told her that the airlines couldn't do anything, and she needed to "settle it with the passenger". "This whole thing just feels... so gross and wrong," she said, further asking for advice on how to escalate. Should airlines take responsibility for such incidents? The post left the online users divided, as some sympathised with her while many said that the airlines can't do anything in this situation. One user said, "...the only thing you can do is to try and get the other person to pay, but it won't happen. Sh**ty (rather pissy) situation but yeah Frontier won't help, nor would any other airline TBH. No airline is taking liability for other passenger actions." "That is absolutely terrible, but I'm pretty sure Frontier won't care or do anything," another said. "This could happen on any airline. It's not Frontier specific. Some people are just dirty and don't care about others," another user said. On its website, Frontier Airlines said: "Frontier will not be liable for loss or damage to carry-on baggage unless such damage is caused by Frontier's or its agent's negligence, which does not include damage resulting from turbulence, shifting of items during flight, or ordinary handling, including placing the baggage in overhead compartments or under seats."

Passenger's bag subjected to disgusting act mid-flight — and the airline says it's not their problem
What a drip-off! A Frontier Airlines passenger was horrified to discover her under-the-seat carry-on bag was soaked with urine following a recent flight — and shocked when airline staffers waved off her complaints. The soggy saga unfolded on a Seattle-Dallas sojourn in early June — and went public after a family member shared the trickle-down theory in a popular Reddit post asking experienced travelers how to get the budget carrier to shoulder the bladder burden. Advertisement The passenger's sister explained that during the flight, the backpack was stored under the seat in front of her, and when she went to grab it when the flight was over, she realized it was 'soaked.' 'She assumed maybe water or soda, but when she tried to dry it off in the airplane bathroom, the paper towels came out yellow,' the post said. 'She's 99% sure the person sitting in the seat in front of her peed during the flight and it leaked onto her backpack.' Advertisement Right after deplaning, the passenger went right to the gate to try and report it, but 'the staff there basically brushed her off' and told her to go to the ticket counter. When she did that, they then sent her to the supervisor. 'She's literally carrying around pee soaked paper towels as evidence while getting bounced around the airport trying to find someone who will take her seriously,' the Reddit user wrote. A manager admitted that they had to call the general manager since they didn't know how to handle the situation because 'nothing like this has happened before.' Advertisement A Frontier Airlines passenger discovered that her carry-on bag was soaked with urine by the end of the flight. Alba Vitta Studio/Stocksy – They eventually told her that Frontier couldn't do anything about the situation and she would have to 'settle it with the passenger.' The poster found this advice to be 'ridiculous.' 'Who in their right mind is going to confront someone, but also confront someone about an unknown bodily fluids???' they questioned. Advertisement 'This whole thing just feels… so gross and wrong. A bodily fluid soaks her personal belongings, and she's being told she's on her own?' They told her that Frontier couldn't do anything about the situation and she would have to 'settle it with the passenger.' Getty Images One user who claimed to be a Frontier flight attendant commented on the post claimed that 'Frontier doesn't care about the cleanliness of our planes.' 'Frontier doesn't consider anything a biohazard unless it visibly contains blood (even if there is a reasonable possibility of it containing blood, such as urine, feces, or vomit).' 'We also don't have cleaners. FAs pick up trash from the seatback pockets and GAs are supposed to do everything else. Most times if there is stuff on the seats we can't get them to do anything. The times they've had to clean them, due to something extreme like vomit, all they've done is lightly wipe the seat with some paper towels and maybe some basic cleaning spray.' The Post has contacted the airline for comment. Meanwhile, Frontier's contract of carriage states that the airline is not responsible for incidents like the one described. 'Frontier will not be liable for loss or damage to carry-on baggage unless such damage is caused by Frontier's or its agent's negligence, which does not include damage resulting from turbulence, shifting of items during flight, or ordinary handling, including placing the baggage in overhead compartments or under seats.'

Major airline offering 'all you can fly' pass for less than $600 per year
A US-based airline is offering its customers an annual 'all you can fly' pass for less than $600. For those dreaming of limitless journeys in 2025, Frontier Airlines is on hand to assist would-be jetsetters with a limited-time deal on its GoWild! Pass. For just $599, savvy adventurers can enjoy an unlimited number of flights across Frontier's domestic and international destinations, including the U.S., Caribbean, Mexico, and Latin America. The pass is valid for travel between 1 May, 2025 and 30 April, 2026, where it then automatically renews at $699 a year. Pass holders are granted access to a range of benefits, including the opportunity to book domestic flights a day before departure, and ten days before departure for international travel. Organised travellers can also plan ahead and select flights early by searching and choosing GoWild! when available - though an Early Booking charge may apply. Pass holders automatically become members of Frontier Miles upon enrollment, giving the opportunity to earn miles on all Go Wild! eligible purchases. Plus, passengers can use their Elite Status to secure seats and bring onboard bags free of charge. To enroll themselves or another individual for the GoWild! Pass, purchasers must be 18 years or older and a resident of the United States. The pass holder must also be a resident of the United States and a Frontier Miles member, according to the terms and conditions listed on the airline's site. After purchasing the GoWild! Pass, passengers can book tickets on select flights for just $0.01 in airfare, plus applicable charges, fees and taxes. There are also other limitations worth considering before travellers buy into the scheme. Pass holders are unable to reserve seats, and fares do not include carry-on or checked luggage. All passes are subject to blackout dates as listed by Frontier, restricting passengers from travelling around the holidays and other busy periods. Additionally, purchasers cannot use their GoWild! passes to buy tickets for other travellers. Frontier first launched a monthly GoWild! pass in 2023, and has since been successful enough that the airline has expanded it to include summer and annual options. The major airline operates routes across 100 destinations, from its main hub in Denver, to popular U.S. cities like Miami, Chicago, Las Vegas and Atlanta, to international locations in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Canada. Meanwhile, a former American Airlines boss has revealed the real reason why the firm terminated a passenger's 'lifelong' first-class plane ticket - after the frequent flier cost the company millions. Steven Rothstein, a businessman from Chicago, purchased an exclusive £190,000 AAirpass ticket in 1987, which granted him unlimited first-class flights for life. In addition to the AAirpass, Rothstein also splurged a further £115,000 for a companion pass, allowing him to travel with a guest.
